I do, I converted a old 8000 L water tank for the purpose.
Eight thousand litres? Wow that’s a lot of worms in there

The tank used to be 8000 L but I cut the top off, so its probably round 5000 ish now. hahaha, started off with 500 worms. but they populate as the bin fills up, then once ready the excess worms, tea and castings gets worked back into the gardens, orchards and net-houses.
this is a pic of the tank when I was starting it up.
beneficial entomology plays a crucial role in sustainable living.
Still makes a 40 gal barrel or a bathtub looks like a baby compare to it hahahaha. The great thing in a bin that large is maintenance is simplified and you could feed all types of fruits and vegs even those not recommended to worms.

Another great thing is that you can migrate the worms to one spot if you would like to harvest some castings, by simply centralising the feeding space.
